NOTE: Gear Pump P4 supplies oil flow for the engine
cooling fan circuit.
IMPORTANT: The gear pump is a positive displace-
ment type. If pump flow is completely restricted or
stopped, damage to the pump, tester or other com-
ponents could occur.
Procedure for Gear Pump P4 Flow Test

While watching pressure gauge, slowly close flow
control valve on tester until 1000 PSI (69 bar) is ob-
tained on pressure gauge. Verify engine speed contin-
ues to be correct (2870 RPM).
